Hey guys!

I needs a little help with something.  Digging through my parents' attic I came across this:





Might and Magic I & II released for the Mac in 1992 on 3.5 inch floppy disks.  I had completely forgotten about this, it has my old hand written notes and even a letter response from the publisher that I received answering a question about the game.  Looking through this stuff really took me back.











Anyway, after the nostalgia wore off I tried to fined out info on this game, maybe to sell it, maybe to just see what it's historical significance was.  But...I can't find it.  Anywhere.  Like, I can't even find acknowledgement that this game ever came out.  Sure I can find the individual titles, but I could not find any information about this particular compilation.  I did find ONE image of it, but it led nowhere.  

Does anyone know where I might be able to find information out on old/obscure PC/Mac games?

Full disclosure - when I say "looked", I spent maybe 2 or 3 hours on google.  So if I missed some glaring, obvious link or whatever, then sorry.  But any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Found some limited information on it here:

https://mightmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Might_and_Magic_Compilations

Apparently it's the only versions of MM I & II, that were released for Mac.

Edit: Found some history here:

Thank you!  This is definitely a start in the right direction.  I had no idea that this was the first time MM was on Mac...you'd think they'd advertise that on the box or something.  Oh well.  Thanks again!
